Let’s solve each mixed number addition problem step by step. The key is to
add the whole numbers separately and
add the fractions separately, then simplify if needed.

Problem 1:
1 ¼ + 2/4
- Whole number: 1
- Fractions: ¼ + 2/4 = 3/4
✔ Answer:
1 ¾
---
Problem 2:
2 ⅓ + 1 ⅓
- Whole numbers: 2 + 1 = 3
- Fractions: ⅓ + ⅓ = 2/3
✔ Answer:
3 ⅔
---
Problem 3:
5 ¼ + 2 ¼
- Whole numbers: 5 + 2 = 7
- Fractions: ¼ + ¼ = 2/4 = ½ (simplified)
✔ Answer:
7 ½
---
Problem 4:
3 ²⁄₄ + 1 ¼
First, note that ²⁄₄ = ½, but we can add as is:
- Whole numbers: 3 + 1 = 4
- Fractions: ²⁄₄ + ¼ = ³⁄₄
✔ Answer:
4 ¾
*(Note: ²⁄₄ + ¼ = 2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4 — correct!)*

Problem 5:
⅓ + 3 ⅔
This is the same as
3 ⅔ + ⅓
- Whole number: 3
- Fractions: ⅔ + ⅓ = 3/3 = 1
So total: 3 + 1 =
4
✔ Answer:
4

Problem 6:
5 ⅕ + 4 ⅖
- Whole numbers: 5 + 4 = 9
- Fractions: ⅕ + ⅖ = ³⁄₅
✔ Answer:
9 ³⁄₅
---
Problem 7:
3 ³⁄₅ + 2 ⅖
- Whole numbers: 3 + 2 = 5
- Fractions: ³⁄₅ + ⅖ = ⁵⁄₅ = 1
Total: 5 + 1 =
6
✔ Answer:

## 🌟 Tip for Students:
When adding mixed numbers:
- Add the
whole parts.
- Add the
fraction parts.
- If the fraction part equals or exceeds 1 (like ⁵⁄₅), convert it to a whole number and add it to your total.
You’re doing great! Keep practicing 😊
